Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a drive assembly for an electric vehicle.
  • the present disclosure is directed to a method for operating a drive assembly.
  • an electric vehicle is a vehicle that is at least partially propelled by an electric motor.
  • the energy for powering the electric motor may be provided by a battery.
  • a drive assembly for an electric vehicle.
  • the drive assembly comprises an electric drive machine with three phase strands.
  • the drive assembly comprises a switching means being electrically connected to the electric drive machine and being configured for selectively switching the three phase strands in a delta configuration or in a star configuration.
  • the drive assembly comprises a battery unit being electrically connected to the electric drive machine via the switching means.
  • the battery unit comprises a plurality of battery cells and a plurality of cell-level control units, wherein each of the cell-level control units is electrically connected to an associated single battery cell out of the plurality of battery cells or to an associated group of battery cells out of the plurality of battery cells.
  • each of the cell-level control units SE:TOP comprises a cell-level inverter unit being configured to transform a direct current being provided by the associated battery cell or the associated group of battery cells into an alternating current of adjustable voltage.
  • a phase strand may also be designated as a phase winding.
  • a cell-level control unit a corresponding single battery cell or group of battery cells can be used for providing alternating current of adjustable voltage.
  • the frequency, phase and amplitude of this AC current can be determined using the cell-level inverter, i.e. on cell level.
  • the adjustable voltage is for example an effective voltage or a root mean square voltage.
  • the cell-level control units and the corresponding battery cells are of course interconnected such that each of the three phase strands of the electric drive machine can be supplied with an appropriate AC signal. Consequently, using the cell-level control units, the battery unit is able to provide an AC current and/or an AC voltage of variable characteristics, e.g. with respect to the frequency, phase and amplitude. By operating the cell-level control units, the characteristics can be adjusted as needed. This stands in contrast to a traditional setup of a drive assembly comprising a battery unit which is only able to provide a substantially constant voltage. Using the adjustability of the AC current and the AC voltage, the different characteristics of the delta configuration and the star configuration of the three phase strands can be used.
  • the phase current when switching from the delta configuration to the star configuration, the phase current can be reduced. If the power is to be maintained, of course the phase voltage needs to be increased accordingly. In a three phase electric machine, the phase current is reduced by a factor of 1 / 3 and the phase voltage is increased by a factor of 3 . Since the electric losses inside a drive assembly are strongly dependent on the phase current, these losses can be reduced by selectively operating the three phase strands in a star configuration. Reducing the losses increases the operational efficiency. This leads to an increased driving range.
  • a configuration of the drive assembly in which the three phase strands are in a star configuration can be designated as an energy saving mode.
  • An electric machine having three phase strands may be called a three phase AC electric machine.
  • the inverter unit comprises so-called H-bridges.
  • the inverter unit may alternatively be called a H-bridge unit.
  • each of the cell-level control units may comprise two connection terminals for the connection of the cell-level control units among each other. These connection terminals may be separate from connection terminals by which the single battery cell or the group of battery cells is connected to the respective cell-level control unit.
  • each cell-level control unit may comprise a H-bridge.
  • An H-bridge is an H-shaped circuit, wherein a switch is located in each of the four legs of the H-shape.
  • the switches may be realized by transistors.
  • the connection terminal for connecting the cell-level control units among each other may be arranged in a middle section of the H-shaped circuit. In such a configuration, each of these connection terminals may be connected to a positive pole of the respective battery cell or group of battery cells via a first switch and to a negative pole of the respective battery cell or group of battery cells via a second switch.
  • the cell-level control unit may be in a state in which a polarity of a connectable battery cell or group of battery cells may be maintained.
  • the polarity of the battery cell or the group of battery cells may be inverted by the switching unit of the cell-level control unit.
  • a DC current or an AC current may be provided, i.e. the switching unit may be operated as an inverter.
  • the switching unit may be operated as an inverter.
  • a switching state is possible where the battery cell or the group of battery cells being connectable to the cell-level control unit is bypassed.
  • the connection terminals for connecting the single battery cell or the group of battery cells is electrically disconnected from the cell-level control unit.
  • the switching unit comprises a control unit for operating the switches.
  • the plurality of battery cells and the corresponding cell-level control units are arranged in a number of battery cell strings.
  • the number of battery cell strings corresponds to the number of phase strands of the electric drive machine.
  • the battery cells and the corresponding cell-level control units are electrically connected in series. Consequently, electric power having an appropriate voltage can be supplied to each of phase strands of the electric drive machine.
  • the configuration in a number of battery cell strings is both efficient from the point of view of electric connections and space saving.
  • each of the battery cell strings has a first end and a second end.
  • the second ends are arranged opposite to the respective first end.
  • all first ends are electrically connected to the switching means and/or all second ends are electrically connected to each other at a neutral point.
  • the second ends may be called neutral sides of the respective cell strings and the first ends may be called phase sides or voltage sides. At the neutral point, the sum of currents is zero.
  • each of the battery cell strings comprises 1 to 500 battery cells.
  • a battery capacity being associated with the corresponding battery cell string can be adapted.
  • a method for operating a drive assembly according to the present disclosure.
  • the method comprises:
  • a set of alternating currents refers to all the alternating currents being provided to the different phase strands of the electric drive machine.
  • the first voltage and the second voltage are different from one another.
  • the first voltage and the second voltage may be effective or root mean square values. If it is assumed that both the first operational mode and the second operational mode shall use the same electric power, it is clear that in the operational mode in which the higher voltage is used, a current needs to be reduced. Since the electric losses inside a drive assembly are strongly dependent on the phase current, these losses can be reduced by selectively operating the phase strands in a star configuration, i.e. in the second operational mode. Reducing the losses increases the operational efficiency. This leads to an increased driving range.
  • providing a first set of alternating currents of a first voltage and/or providing a second set of alternating currents of a second voltage comprises electrically connecting a sub-set of the plurality of battery cells to the electric drive machine. This means that less than all battery cells are used. It goes without saying that in such a case the sub-set of the used battery cells need to be operated such that they provided the required voltage and power. This is done using the corresponding cell-level control units.
  • providing a first set of alternating currents of a first voltage and/or providing a second set of alternating currents of a second voltage comprises electrically connecting all battery cells of the plurality of battery cells to the electric drive machine.
  • all battery cells and all corresponding cell-level control units with the corresponding cell-level inverters are operated in a coordinated manner.
  • both in the first operational mode and in the second operational mode the electric drive machine is operated at the same load point.
  • the voltage needs to be increased accordingly.
  • the mode switch leads to an increased current
  • the voltage needs to be decreased. This also applies vice versa if the mode switch leads to an increased or decreased voltage.
  • the first operational mode is a default operational mode.
  • a ratio between the first voltage and the second voltage is 1,5 to 2.
  • the preferred ratio for a three phase machine is 3 .
  • the method further comprises using the second operational mode.
  • the star configuration of the second operational mode leads to a comparatively low phase current. This leads to a reduction of electric losses and, thus, to an increased driving range.
  • the second operational mode may, thus, also be designated as an energy saving mode. The use of the second operational mode is possible if the number of cells in each string is higher than what is needed for operating the drive assembly in the first operational mode.
  • a user of the electric vehicle may manually chose the operational mode.
